WARNING!
BATTERY GIVES OFF EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS.
• Keep battery away from spark, flame, or cigarette.
• Do not connect or disconnect battery while generator is running.
• Service or use battery only in well ventilated areas.
WARNING!
Battery contains sulfuric acid. Battery acid is poisonous. Tilting the generator with the battery
installed can cause battery acid to spill.
• Wear protective clothing and eye wear when servicing battery.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Do not tilt generator with battery installed.
• If battery acid gets on your skin, wash with water immediately.
• If battery acid gets in your eyes, flush with water for at least 15 minutes and call a doctor immediately.
If battery acid is swallowed, call a doctor immediately. Drink a large amount of water or milk. Then drink milk of
magnesia or vegetable oil.
The generator comes with the battery disconnected for safety. When using gasoline to run the generator, the battery
must be connected whether using electric or recoil start. The battery must also be connected for electric start when
using LPG, but the battery does not need to be connected for recoil start on LPG.
To connect the battery:
1. Remove the red cover from the positive (+) battery terminal.
2. Connect the red cable to the positive (+) battery terminal with the suitable nuts and bolts.
3. Attach the free end of the negative cable to the battery and secure the connection.
4. Make sure connections are secure and slide rubber boot over the positive (+) battery terminal and connection
hardware.
5. Connect the black cable to the negative (-) battery terminal with the suitable nuts and bolts.
6. Make sure all connections are secure and slide rubber boot over the negative (-) battery terminal and connection
hardware.
IMPORTANT:
If you do not plan to use the generator for an extended period of time, it is recommended to DISCON-
NECT the negative battery cable from the battery to protect the battery from losing charge. After disconnecting the
cable, cover the free end with an insulator such as electrical tape.
If the battery is dead or disconnected, the generator will not start when using gasoline, or when using LPG and elec-
tric start. The battery receives charge when the generator is running. To help maximize your battery’s lifespan, and
ensure it’s ready when needed, run your generator once a month, disconnect the negative battery cable as outlined
above, or connect the battery to a trickle charger.
